Smart, tracked pallets
RFID and IoT location tracking built into the pallet, for continuous visibility of where your loads are.
ChemTray Innovations
Engineered and intelligent packaging
ChemTray Innovations is a separate brand within the group, focused on engineered and intelligent packaging: smart, tracked pallets, reusable transport trays with leak sensing, and engineered polymer packaging for chemical, battery and advanced-manufacturing supply chains, where safe and efficient handling matters most.
Three ChemTray product lines
Reusable trays with leak sensing
Modular, reusable trays for chemical containers, with leak sensors that flag a problem early.
Engineered packaging
Polymer trays, dunnage and pallet systems designed with manufacturers around high-value parts.
Smart, tracked pallets
Know where every pallet and load is
ChemTray smart pallets combine RFID for automatic reads at docks, gates and warehouses with IoT trackers for continuous location visibility between those points. You see where pallets and their loads are, across your lanes and your returnable loop.
We set up tracking with you: we start from your lanes, sites and visibility needs, and fit RFID, IoT or both. Smart tracking can be added to Vanguard custom pallets and paired with ChemTray trays.
RFID at scan points
Tags read automatically at dock doors, gates and warehouse portals, without manual scanning.
IoT trackers in between
Trackers on the pallet give continuous location visibility while loads are on the road, rail or water.
Pallet IDs tied to shipments
Each pallet ID links to your shipments and assets, so you know what moved, where and when.
Fewer lost pallets
Visibility across returnable loops helps pallets come back instead of going missing.
Safer chemical transport, trip after trip
Smaller chemical containers often travel in one-way packaging, with no way to tell when something leaks. ChemTray trays hold containers securely, come back for reuse, and use leak sensing to flag a problem early, so you can act before a small leak becomes a contaminated load, a cleanup or a safety incident.
We develop tray solutions with customers: we start from your containers, chemicals and lanes, design the tray and inserts in Houston, and validate them with your team.
What ChemTray trays offer
Reusable, modular trays
Durable polymer trays designed for many trips, modular and stackable, replacing one-way packaging in returnable loops.
Integrated leak sensing
Moisture-sensitive leak sensors designed to flag a leaking container early, before it spreads through a load.
Inserts for smaller containers
Inserts that hold smaller chemical containers securely in place, configured to the containers you ship.
Ready for tracking
Trays can carry RFID or IoT tracking and ride on ChemTray smart pallets for end-to-end visibility.
Engineered packaging for advanced manufacturing
High-value components, from battery cells and modules to semiconductor and electronics parts, need packaging designed around them. ChemTray develops engineered polymer trays, dunnage and pallet systems with manufacturers, matched to part geometry, cleanliness and handling requirements, and designed for reuse.
- Part-specific trays and dunnage
- Clean, reusable polymer designs
- Compatible with ChemTray smart, tracked pallets
Markets we design for
- Chemicals and lab chemicals
- Hazardous materials handling
- EV batteries
- Hydrogen energy
- Semiconductors and electronics
- Automotive
Hazardous-materials rules are getting stricter, and sectors such as EV batteries and hydrogen energy are growing. Both raise the bar for transport packaging, and that’s the work ChemTray focuses on.
A separate brand within one group
ChemTray Innovations is a separate brand within the group, alongside Vanguard Polymer Packaging, and both brands share one Houston team. Combine ChemTray smart pallets and trays with Vanguard flexitanks, IBCs and custom pallets, and work with one point of contact: Harry Morgan, Managing Director, hmorgan@getflexitanks.com.
